PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY FOR SALE, BUT IT IS OFF THE MARKET UNTIL MID JUNE! BUT AFTER THAT TIME THERE MAY BE SHOWINGS NEEDED DURING YOUR STAY. ALSO, THERE IS A 3 DAY MINIMUM STAY. This is an awesome vacation home that you will LOVE! It is a free standing home with comfortable furnishings and well stocked supplies. Enjoy this special community from our beautiful home in Barrio De Tubac, a small community within walking distance of the artist village in Tubac, and less than a mile from the Tubac Golf Resort. As frequent VRBO guests ourselves, we know what we enjoy when staying in other’s homes, a designer home, geared towards comfort, with well-stocked supplies. We have picked out every item, from soft sheets, to bathrobes, to smart TVs that allow you to access your accounts with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc., with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. (No cable TV) You will love our 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with its’ 10 foot ceilings, gas kiva fireplace, surround sound, jetted tub, walk in shower, well stocked kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, private court yard, and back patio with comfortable seating and beautiful sunset views.

You will also really enjoy visiting the historic Tumacacori mission that dates back to the late 1600’s, or just relax at the pool and hot tub which is a short walk/bike from the house. You should also spend some time browsing the many unique art galleries that line the quiet streets of the Tubac Village. Our home is perfect for a romantic getaway, where you can spend your entire trip without ever leaving Tubac. The local market is just a short walk/bike from the house and has everything you need for a gourmet meal, including specialty cheeses and a very nice wine selection. If you love golf, as we do, you can spend your days playing golf at the famous Tubac Golf Resort or at a host of other golf courses in the area (Rio Rico or Green Valley). The Golf Resort also has a Spa and a great restaurant called the Stables. Our favorite spot for dinner is the exquisite Elvira’s Restaurant – within walking distance from our home. You will be blown away by the food and ambiance at this restaurant. Finally, if you really enjoy hiking, biking or running, there are plenty of trails within close proximity, such as Madera Canyon, Elephant Head, and in Rio Rico. Tubac is also quite famous for birding, a very popular activity on the De Anza Trail, but you don't even have to go that far, as many species visit our back yard. There are even numerous vineyards, which host a wine festival in early August each year within a reasonable driving distance. Once you visit Tubac, you will always want to come back for more!

The host was very welcoming and made communication easy and useful. The property was clean and well-appointed and in a great location. Would love to stay there again.
Great location with easy access to village and restaurants, walking path and highway. Very comfortable with plenty of space and sufficient supplies in the kitchen. Both of us were able to easily work from here. We also loved the outdoor seating area and the friendly neighbors. Thank you for letting us stay with our docile 9 yr old dog. It is highly probable that we will visit here again!
This was our fourth year to stay here for a couple’s golf trip. Perfect for two couples with plenty of extras. The resident cardinal kept us company in the back yard.
Spacious home with well-equipped kitchen and comfortable furnishings. Loved mornings on the back patio watching birds. About a 15-20 min walk to the shops of Tubac.
After arriving and getting settled I noticed the carpeting in master bedroom had not been vacuumed. I then pulled down the bedding only to find dirty sheets with lots of hair. I messaged the host and asked that they call me. They promptly called and I informed them of the condition of the master bedroom. The only acceptable solution for us was to leave the property and find alternate lodging. It was disgusting to see the bed sheets with so much hair. I have pictures. I do not support the argument that says the host should have an 'opportunity to make it right'. As far as I'm concerned, hosts have one chance to make it right. Not two. The host was agreeable and offered a refund. But the refund does not make this situation right. Due to most places being booked our alternate lodging ending up costing considerably more, and it took a few hours out of our day. Hosts need to be held accountable for the condition of their properties, and not make excuses. This was the last straw and I doubt we'll rent Vrbo or similar short term rental again. Two stars and not one, because the host issued a refund.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback. I’m very sorry that your stay started this way and understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive and feel the bedroom was not up to standard.
In the 10 years I’ve been hosting, and with the same housekeeper for the past 3 years, I have not received complaints about cleanliness, so this is not typical of the experience we strive to provide. That said, even one miss is unacceptable, and I take your comments seriously.
As soon as you contacted me, I offered to have the home re-cleaned immediately, but I understand you preferred to leave. I respected that decision and issued a full refund right away. While I’m glad I could at least resolve that portion promptly, I regret that it did not make up for the disruption to your trip.
I have since addressed this directly with my cleaning team to ensure this does not happen again. Maintaining a clean, comfortable space for guests is extremely important to me, and I’m reinforcing additional checks between turnovers.
I’m truly sorry your experience fell short and appreciate you bringing it to my attention.
This house is a great find, and a great location for visiting southern Arizona. The patio has a nice sunset view and the weather was perfect in May. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Carol!
We were thrilled with our recent stay in Tubac and our Vrbo rental was perfect. It is in a perfect location and provides everything you need to feel comfortable and right at home. We would love to stay here again in the near future.
Carol’s home was absolutely perfect for our stay in Tubac. It was well furnished, immaculate, and the best stocked kitchen of any vacation rental we’ve ever seen! Our plans evolved over our stay, and Carol was very accommodating and understanding of our needs. We would enthusiastically recommend Carol and her place to anyone visiting Tubac!
This home has everything that one would need, immaculately clean, spacious, easy check-in / check-out, and in an excellent location! What a wonderful experience for our family! We would love to rent your home again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
Property was very well maintained and the description was spot on. Super easy/pleasurable experience dealing with the owner Carol. Would stay again without question when in the area
